I liked a lot of things about this movie, but this is one of my favorite Robin Williams performances. After spending the 90s doing all those awful family movies, he gets to be vulgar 80's Robin and it's fantastic. Even Jon Stewart, who famously can't act, is funny.

I think what makes it most interesting is that Nolan is known for not giving his actors a lot of leeway. His scripts are gospel. So that fact that he used this take really says something what Hardy brought to it. A C T I N G

Yeah, when you get into enterprise sales, the numbers are ridiculous. We make most of our money not on the devices but on value-added services on top of the software that runs them. Our customers are usually bank call centers. I'm a coder working on unrelated products, but my understanding is that they pay us a fee, and we provide all the hardware (which we buy wholesale, lease out as parts of our contracts, and then sell at a loss when they get replaced and write-off the deprecation).

Yeah, it's still hella expensive. I think an arm including the elbow like that one is well over 100K, but she goes to TED and SXSW to get investors and entrepreneurs to bring those prices down. So, I mean, yeah, she's in a position of privilege too, but I think the point of her post wasn't to complain about people not giving up their outlets, but rather to point out that we live in a future where arms complete with phones for power.

That's a myoelectric prosthesis, meaning it contains motors and sensors that act on interactions with her nervous system. So if the battery dies, then she loses function in the arm. It's a lot more than "fancy blue lights."
